Winner: The Walking Dead

Though many have yet to sample Telltale’s more rustic episodic Adventure series, their take on the Walking Dead franchise offers a total revival of the Adventure franchise as we knew it. With a snappy interface that is relevant on both console and PC, and some of the sharpest dialogue and story pacing we’ve seen in some time, Telltales Walking Dead series is one of the shining gems of this year that far too few players have been privvy to.
